Duke's Jon Scheyer Says He Has 'Empathy' for Fired North Carolina Coach Hubert Davis
Jon Scheyer empathizes with Hubert Davis after his firing amid coaching changes and North Carolina's recent struggles, while Duke aims for its second straight Final Four appearance.
- On Saturday, Duke Blue Devils head coach Jon Scheyer expressed empathy for former North Carolina Tar Heels coach Hubert Davis, who was fired earlier this week following a first-round NCAA Tournament exit.
- North Carolina dismissed Davis on Tuesday after five seasons and a 125-54 record, marking the program's second consecutive first-round loss in the NCAA Tournament.
- Both coaches played at their respective universities before leading the programs; Davis is 55 and Scheyer is 38, creating a 17-year age gap despite their similar career trajectories.
- Former Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski expressed sympathy on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, citing the loss of star player Caleb Wilson, a projected top-five NBA draft pick, as a significant factor in the Tar Heels' struggles.
- Sunday's Elite Eight matchup features the 35-2 Blue Devils facing the 32-5 Connecticut Huskies, with Scheyer focused on securing a Final Four berth rather than the Triangle region's coaching upheaval.
